Hi Jo that is good news that it’s shrinking so fast in a short time , hope you are feeling better with the nausea now & they gave you stronger tablets , does your mouth still feel dry ? Xx

Hi jo

perhaps it’s because you have lost weight. I never lost weight I gained it!!! Just my luck lol they said I may need a new mask because of that ( my feed put a stone in weight on me in 2 weeks)!!! 
that’s great news about the tumour shrinking in such a short time !!! Maybe just maybe won’t won’t need radiotherapy for as long??! Xx

Haha indeed it is Hazel! My hunch was it was my weight-loss  I couldn’t really grasp how the tumour size would affect the mask fit but then , what do I know x 

Hi Aly , Nausea is a lot calmer today - I have managed a slow munch through 2 meals today .  I was issued some nausea medicine for prolonged chemo sickness but fingers crossed I may not need it . My mouth is still dry but not got any drier - eating wet food with sauces helps a lot , spaghetti  bol went down well oh and the oralieve they gave me helps at night too -

Oh that is good news , I was worried about you getting all that on your first week , you’ve got the weekend off now Jo so enjoy & try to eat as much birthday cake as you can , even if it takes you hrs , have it with some custard & cream to make it go down easier  trouble is you will need another mask then xx

Hi Elaine 

That theory would seem more feasible to me as I have lost weight -  I think so much went on in the past week my anxiety soared, that alone makes weight drop off me , then chemo nausea made it impossible for me to want to touch food .  
I like the sound of shortened RT , I wonder if that ever happens .

Hope you are making progress too

Hi Jomsadly I’ve never heard of anyone having less radiotherapy it’s a tried and tested route the oncologist and radiotherapy magicians work together. But it’s common for the last chemo to be cancelled if that helps.

Lol - thats what I am worried about Aly, gaining weight and then having to do another ..yoyo dieting  I am sure it must happen though .  

My anxiety is my eneny Ali and I am sure it played a big role on why my therapy started a bit rocky

Jo it’s to be expected I’ve still got all of it to come , at least you know your routine , my tube is going in on the 4th I think as I have to go in overnight on the 3rd then I’ve got another little wait for treatment ( 9th) you are already ahead of me , I hope you don’t get any more set backs now & you can get on with it , won’t be long now Jo xx
